How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood... - Henry David Thoreau

"Every blade in the field - Every leaf in the forest - lays down its life in its season as beautifully as it was taken up."

"Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes."

"Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth."

"On the death of a friend, we should consider that the fates through confidence have devolved on us the task of a double living, that we have henceforth to fulfill the promise of our friend's life also, in our own, to the world."

"The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend."
